Easiest dual boot setup when building from scratch?
What's the easiest way to manage dual booting when you are starting from scratch?
I'm building a dual boot system with mountain lion and windows 7. I have never installed either OS on the sytem (although I did get it up and running on the unibeast usb, got to the installation screen but couldn't see the HDD so no install, a topic for another thread). I have two 1TB conventional hard drives (but might upgrade to SSD's once they come down a bit more). I also have a proper mac laptop and a windows 7 desktop that I can use to set anything up.
Will I be better off putting both OS's on the same disk? Both OS's on different disks? Easiest way to utilize the easiest methot?
FTR, by easiest I mean least hassle to get it and keep it working, I don't mind if I have to shut down in between or hit keys when starting up if it makes it all run smoother overall.
Lastly, could you please point to to a good guide of how to set up whichever way you think is best?
Thanks!
